1st Test - England v West Indies

blackwood lost his place fuh skunt hope.  somebody shud lead skourtney away in chains..or better a straight-jacket

the cwi does not pay proper attention to Blackwood..do not use him properly.  Blackwood shud be one of the first into the ODI and T20 teams.  he is nowhere near them.  but why ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

he has the batting style for that form of the game.  Hetmeyer too.  that is where they shud have started Hetmeyer..in T20.  dat is where deh have lil Pooran..correctly

deh do ting back-to-front

Toby is an impse.  far from tripping people he shud not even be there.  he is there and the players get worse and deh have no talent to start with. 

what the hell then  is the use of Toby or any dam coach > >

Mark Stoneman, the Surrey opening batsman, is set to make his Test debut

against a pink ball next week, after being named in a 13-man England squad

for the first Test against West Indies at Edgbaston

the first day-night Test to be staged in this country.

Hampshire legspinner, Mason Crane

who displayed his composure in the T20 series against South Africa in June

and, at the age of 20, has been handed an opportunity to press for a place

on this winter's Ashes tour. He replaces his county team-mate, Liam Dawson

who featured in the first two Tests against South Africa, but was outshined in

the spin-bowling stakes by Moeen Ali's 25-wicket haul..

this is cheating


they know windies don't see in the day so they play them in the night

Hampshire 119 for 2 beat Glamorgan 118 for 6 by eight wickets

Mason Crane marked his maiden England Test call-up
with three wickets as Hampshire closed the gap on Glamorgan
at the top of the NatWest T20 Blast South Group

Legspinner Crane was picked for the Test squad to face the West Indies next Friday

It'd be interesting to see how the day night test plays out. The pink ball was showcased for those type of games. So it's nice to see how the ball can be good enough for both day time pitch conditions. All the best to the teams playing out in this type of format.

thought the term : "Like a Thief in the night" was coined in Guyana 

According to the epistle to the Thessalonians in the New Testament
the “day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.”

This is a great opportunity for our players to make a name for themselves. I just hope that the likes of Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Shannon Gabriel, Alzarri Joseph and the captain Jason Holder can prove a few people wrong.
